How to temper chocolate
Tempering chocolate (without a thermometer) is straightforward when you have a few tips! Here are some tricks to keep in mind:
What to do if your chocolate doesn’t temper well
Don’t worry, if your chocolate isn’t the pourable beauty you wanted it to be, it can be fixed. You have two options here:
Orange zest or citrus: Add freshly grated orange zest or lime zest on top for a bright twist. Shredded coconut: Sprinkle the top with shredded coconut for a chewy texture and tropical flair. Raspberry jam: Use a minimally sweetened raspberry jam to make an extra layer of sweet, fruity goodness. Add chopped nuts on top: Add a pinch of chopped nuts such as almonds, pecans, or pistachios on top of the chocolate coating for an extra crunch. Minty fresh: Incorporate a few drops of peppermint extract into the tempered chocolate for a refreshing mint-chocolate twist. Caramel: Drizzle some caramel on top of the cashew butter cups before chilling for an indulgent touch. Spices: Add a dash of ground cinnamon, nutmeg, or cardamom to the cashew butter for warmth and depth of flavor. For a spicy kick, include a pinch of chili powder or cayenne pepper. No-nut version: If you can’t eat nuts you can still make these using SunButter, a sunflower seed butter! Different nut butter: Substitute almond butter for dark chocolate almond butter cups, peanut butter for a classic version, or any other nut butter of your choice for a unique flavor.
